Last years trip to the Cherry Blossom rally demonstrated to us that we six could fit comfortably in a small Airstream. At one point we managed even to sleep seven... but this year, the boys seem to have grown beyond that comfort level. To solve this problem... taking a cue from an optional feature available in our '67, I devised a way to suspend lightweight bunks above the two gauchos.
Other than the Velcro webbing hangers, the frames are only supported at two points on the walls. This makes them easy to remove during the day... although, as you can see... Kelly is sitting comfortably on the front gaucho while Amery is lounging above. This will be useful when Kelly and I get up early to enjoy a quiet cup of coffee while the kids sleep in.

very nice Steve. Now you can squeeze eight in the trailer for the night.
Steve,
Thanks for posting this. I am becoming more inclined to making a bunk over the rear bed (east to west) for Collin so we don't have to worry about making the dinette into a bed every night, and back into a table in the morning. I am looking more for a permanent solution however, but I like the lightweight design you have created.
Great job.
Steve
